Horrible.  They looked like a bunch of APA 5’s.

It wasn't good.

In lighter news, played league last night and Alex Olinger was subbing for the other team. It's a 5 round league, so you play everyone on the other team once. I shot a 42 (out of possible 50) with my only loss coming against Alex on his break. I did see the table as he broke dry, but made a bad play. On the other hand, we were a man short so we rotated for our extra slot. Our team captain ended up breaking against Alex twice, and he broke and ran both games. Overall, we held him to 25 points, the lowest on their team.

Nice!  Olinger can get around the table!

Well, I’m gonna start this up again. Starting with a story.

My mom went down to Captiva at the beginning of November to spend a few days with her friends on the beach. Unfortunately, it rained pretty much every day while they were down there, and there was a pool table in her beach house, so that’s what they played. She loved it. When she got home, she told us about it, and we all agreed that we wanted a pool table in our house. 

Back to the present. My bro and I came home one day to this beauty sitting in our guest bedroom, an early Christmas present. 

It’s obviously not a full-length table (no way we could’ve fit a full-sized pool table anywhere in our house), but it’s pretty close. Obviously we had to assemble it first, but that took several days, as we lost one of the legs. Today is only our third day of playing it, and I’ve already played at least a dozen games. I love it, and we’re having company over tonight, so I’m looking forward to playing!
